Hi,

I have a question regarding remote users and security.

Which one is better or the standard way?

1. VPN and RDP to a inside computer
2. VPN without RDP, but more restrictions through ACLs.

What is the way to go? PS: We have extremely sensitive PII information.

Thank you in advance!

Hello Experts
I was recently appointed as IT Manager at one of the companies.
This company is using microsoft CRM.
The former Director of Information Technology used traditional VPN technology from Internet service providers to connect all the company's branches around the country. Which cost the company a lot of money per month.
While this VPN is only used to run that program in these branches.
What I think if I can develop or modify this system to use cloud technology or any thing else To reduce costs and also to develop the company

Sounds strange:
I have an VPN to a foreign network which is established by the two routers.
The network mask is 255.255.255.0
I can't ping the computer with the address x.x.x.1
I can ping every other comuter in the foreign network.
I can establish a RDP connection to x.x.x.1
I can't reach the x.x.x.1 through port 1433 (SQL)
From a computer inside the foreign network everything works fine which does'nt work through the VPN.

This behaviour ist new. A couple of days bevor, everything worked fine.

I have no idea!

I am trying to find a solution for a client which will allow them to push all SSH traffic over remote access VPN? they are also requesting that it must have split tunneling and all http/https traffic must go out over the local internet. Is this even possible? they currently have a fortigate, which says no its not possible, I've called a few other vendors who say their VPN solutions are not capable of that. I know in cisco you can force specific sites to go over the VPN but you need specific IPs and it is not recommend. OpenVPN might be able to do it but I might be misinterpreting what I'm finding. Has anyone come across something like this before and can point me in the right direction?

Basically this client has a lot of remote workers who download large images which is why split tunneling is a must. They work through AWS and SSH into the boxes. The security for this is getting out of hand as they have a lot of servers and they are putting everyone's public IP in the security settings to allow them to access the servers. They no longer want to do this and only use their public IP for security reasons so we are trying to get a baring on how one would be able to accomplish this as they want 1 point to cut all access to the servers if a user would leave or be terminated.

I have an SBS 2011 which runs exchange/DNS/DHCP/VPN but I had to remove the DHCP from it and use the routers DHCP for reasons that I cannot explain. Everything works fine but I cannot find anything online that says that VPN will work with an external DHCP.

I've just had my first remote user complain that she cannot connect so I rerun the fix my network and setup the vpn again and she appears to be connected fine. Is there anything else I need to check/do on the server or the router to ensure proper operation of the VPN?

Dear Experts,

We have configured SSL VPN for the Sophos XG 310 firewall to use.

When we tried to add a second ssl vpn account copying the first account settings, we are unable to connect.

Is there a log for SSL VPN?

User has two locations where they work on their photo library using Adobe LightRoom on Mac.  They are 8 months at first location, then 4 months at the second for the summer.

Can I have a Synology NAS at each location to synchronize their work?

Internet connection in NYC is FIOS, which currently is 600+ mbps using Speedtest both Download and Upload
Internet connection in MA (Massachusetts) is Xfinity which measures 30 Download and 6 Upload

They have about 5 TB of photos on a RAID directly attached to their computer.
I can use software to sync the RAID files to and from the Synology

I will do the initial synchronization of  the Synology units in NYC, and have them bring one to MA

Once in MA
User adds 1 to 2 GB of photos every few days, which will be synchronized to the NAS

At the end of the 4 months, when the user returns to NYC, I would like their photo library and LightRoom catalogs to be a mirror of what they were working on in MA, and ready to use.



Is this a good method?
Any steps missing?


Thanks

Hello,

I have a CISCO ASA 5506 Firewall that we use for VPN, using AnyConnect Client, is there a way to have a password policy, when creating user accounts for VPN, it's for audit purposes

Thanks,
Claude

Currently we have a Cisco ASA 5512-x and we have split tunneling for VPN. Due to issues it's causing for many of our devs at home (they need to vpn into our network then route over to aws), we want to remove split tunneling.

1. How do I go about removing split tunneling?
2. Are there any got chas that I need to look out for? Will this potentially break routing anywhere else?

I don't have a deep understanding of networking, but I am comfortable getting into the Cisco ASA and making configuration changes.

I have a laptop which connects to a remote share over a VPN connection.   The connection was working and she was able to access the share while out of the office.    This weekend the share no longer worked and she could not get connected.    

The computer has been rebooted multiple times, the vpn connected has been terminated and restarted multiple times.    I can ping the remote server by name and IP, NSLookup returns the correct IP address and I can connect if I enter the IP address but not the server name.  

Any suggestions on why I can suddenly not map the drive by name?
